SIVE UP WORK GRADUALLY fMan Accustomed to Regular Duties F Makes Mistake When He Sud denly Ceases All Labor. J Many business men at the age of iflfty or fifty-five work eight hours a ?ay and enjoy iL They will tell you .they feel as young as they did ten jye$$ before. Then some of them conclude they ftave enough of thic world's goods and jreiire. It is a well-known fact that brain .er muscle work forms in the system ja poison, and if we keep on working ia condition which doctors call auto ^^Intoxication is produced. Which Imeans that the antitoxin nature has ^produced in our bodies has not been jenough to offset tbe poison of our {burned up energy. 3 Rest and deep sleep are supposed Ito clear the body of aH poisons and /w^aste, But it has been proved in '^the cases of persons who use drugs rthat after they have taken into their jsystem a certain dru^' in increased ?amounts for some months they can 'stand an amount which would kill a .dozen persons not accustomed to the ??rus . Prom the minute the drug wassfti jtheir system nature Started to work Ito produce m that body an antitoxin .to fight the poison they were taking. ?Nature gets many habits of her own, ?and she gets into the habit of expect ing to form an antitoxin to battle (with that poison or drug which that (body has been taking daily, and she {produces it daily. Now suddenly let that same body ?Btop taking into it the drug it was fused to; nature does not stop form ?ing the antitoxin. No indeed; she goes .Tight on for weeks and months foam ing the antitoxin she has been accus tomed to form, and the little fighting lanny to fight and being of a poison ?us nature themselves, turn from lit .tle workers, when they have their tovrn work to do, to bad workers, with (no work, and start fighting the good {cells of the body, producing a self tpoisoning which is likely to cause (death. i If a man has been working daily j/or years and the energy used un by ?work has produced a sort of poison ous waste, enough to cause auto in toxicating if not cleared out by rest Sind sleep, would it not seem reason table that nature had daily in that fran's system been forming an antl .aJoxin to offset the poisonous waste wind that when he suddenly stops 'work the oamc condition takes place rss with a person who takes pojgon? The antitoxin cells, finding no poison ous waste to work on, turn and work "wjn tbe good cells of the body, causing JttTt? intoxication and sickness and jmany ?mes deat?l. It would seem that ? man giving inp work should do so gradually. Sacrificed All for Hobby. At Ivry, a Paris suburb, bas just died a remarkable old man, a septuagenar ian, named Fraissard. He died in pov erty, but had he chosen he could have Ibecome one of the most famous Euro pean sculptors. As it was, he finished Mfe a3 he began it-more or less pen niless. When a boy he was appren ticed to a marble cutter, and he at once discovered his powers in this di rection. For fifty years he had contin ued to execut the most beautiful works of art, mostly in mosaics. M. Frais sard's masterpiece took him nearly twenty-four years to perfect It is a !Wack marble table. In the middle is ?a chessboard, on either side of which tere playing cards arranged as fans. On the table are dominoes and dice, cig ars and cigarettes, and sevrai coins in gold and silver. All these are, of ?ourse, inlaid. The materials in the table, beside the black marble, are ?agate, onyx, porphyry, malachite and Japis lazuli, the tones of which are "black, red, orange, blue and white. iNinety different kinds of marble were siso used. .

Dr. Mary Ellis Patrick of Boston, reresident of the American College JOT Girls in Constantinople, who is .?ow in this country, says that she >flnds Turkish girls apt pupils and very anxious to learn. As many worn -en are now being called to take the .places of men who have fallen in inattle, tho value of an education is better appreciated than ever before. 'Today there are several thousand .Mohammedan girls and women at tending the university. One of the ;glrls who left the school less than a year ago is now chief editorial writer .on the Tannin, the leading Young Turk publication.

Question Put by Inquisitivo Boarder, Though, Seemed Rather to fm Tty a Doubt as to tba Veracity of the 8tory Ko ToW, "I just got back from a big-game hunt yesterday," said the young sports man. "There were six of us tn the party and we bad a lot of tun." . "Did you bring bacJt any trophies?" asked a fellow "Boarder. "Well, no, but we had plenty of sport. Two of U6 who had never killed mountain lion and bear learned exact ly how to do it from the four sports men on the train going up. . The way I do,' said one of the old hands, 'is tQ : shoot the bear under the fourth rib," and I always like to get my mountain Hon, with a bullet just over the left .eye.' f 'I don V said another big-game ex pert 'I shoot them in the neck.' '"I like hand-to-hand encounters/ teaid a third expeTt 'Especially when it comes to bear. Let Mr. Bear start hugging me and he gets my hunting knife right in the heart!' "The first night after we got to camping one of the old hunters came in and told how be had killed a bear with his hunting knife after a deeper rte struggle, but the bear had fallen into a chasm where the hunter couldn't get him. "Another came in and said be bad killed the biggest mountain lion he ever saw, but the lion had jumped over a cliff. "A third expert came in and said that he had seen a bear carrying off the other two members of the party by the trousers. He said it waa lucky for me that I had stayed in camp that day. "While we were talking a big storm broke. There was a flash of Iighning and a clap of thunder. It scared the 'hero whose bear had fallan into a chasm and he eaid: " 'Boys, I told a lie. I haven't killed >a bear or even seen one!' "Then there came a terrible clap of thunder and the hunter who had brought such sad tidings of our absent friends said: f* 'I told a lie, too. No bear earried off the other boys. They said it locked like rain and BO they went toto town/ "The next clap of thunder did away with the other f?llow's lion. When the next flash of lightning came there stood a bear about ten feet high, righi in the door of our tent! ''One' of the iMtnf?r? who had' achieved such triumphs at . various times jumped up and dived into the milk can and closed the top down tight after him. The others bolted un: der the edge of the tent and escaped. "What did you dot" "Oh, I killed the bear," said the sportsman. "As soon as I saw how badly scared the other fellows were ? drew my hunting knife and killed the bear. It was funny, though, how frightened those oth?r fellows weTel"| "Aren't you afraid of thunder and lightning? asked the inquisitive boarder. Combating the Chigger. Tlie chigger is a red, six-legged mite so small that it can scarcely b? seen with the naked eye. In certain locali ties all over the corn belt it is abun dant from the middle of June until late in August. It seems to be especially common in wood land and on berry bushes. It is naturally vegetarian, and when it causes pain to chickens and children, it is not because it is search ing for blood. In fact, entomologista tell us that the chiggers which burrow into the skin, causing red welts, be cause of the poison which they ex crete, by so doing destroy themselves. No very effective method of combat ing the pest has yet been devised. Washing in hot water and then apply ing kerosene to the affected parts will do some good. Another good waBh is one part of pure crystals of carbolic acid in fifty or one hundred parts of water.-Wallace's Farmer. Jersey LHy Filme. The ancient Jersey Lily, the Lily Langtry of the old play bills, now Lady de Bathe, is acting for a series of film productions to be presented by Daniel Frohman. The lady is report ed as saying, "to be enrolled in the famous players' gallery of artists ?B a distinction that will survive myself. Through its power of perpetuity I am immortal-I am a film!" Among the stories of the frolicsome Lily that are recalled is one connected with a jolly champagne party, when the prince of Wales, afterward King Edward VIL, then deucedly sweet on the Lily, sst at the head of the table, and where she so far forgot princely dignity as to pour a handful of cracked ice be tween Edward's backbone and his shirt collar. This at once produced a coldness between friends, and from that time on the Lily and the prince met as strangers. United States Leads In Cotton. After many years of earnest en deavor on the part of various govern ments and organizations of manufac turers and others interested in the cot I ton industry of Europe to widen the I cotton fields of the old world, the I United States continues to produce ! from 60 to 65 per cent, of all the cot '? ton grown. This country, Egypt and ; India account for about 85 per cent, of 1 the world's supply, and with China I and Russia added, fully 95 per cent.
